The kids say in unison: "What's a book?"
It comes with a "shoreline reel"; do people still send little kids to the hardware store to pick up some shoreline?
Great potential as a toy hauler. That wheelchair lift ought to handle a dirt bike. Moab here I come!
Perfect! I've been looking for a way to bring my books on a road trip for years!!!
What? Kindle? Isn't that something you start fires with?
